Academy of Continuing Professional Education
Through the Institute of Professional Studies, Concordia University has created the Academy of Continuing Professional Education as a part of the ongoing effort to meet the needs of educators seeking professional development activities. Through the Academy, Professional Growth Opportunities (PGOs) are planned and offered to those in our educational community. Experts on staff at Concordia University or other persons recognized in the field will serve as presenters and facilitators of the PGOs.
The Academy offers a variety of educational activities designed to meet district, school, and individual needs. Our goal is to help teachers become even more effective in their classrooms and happier with their own classroom performance.
